ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz called for "civility" on Saturday (March 12), one day after scuffles at a rally for Republican front-runner Donald Trump forced the event to be scrapped.
Cruz condemned protesters in general who "resort to violence" to "silence" whomever they disagree with, mentioning Bernie Sanders supporters and the Black Lives Matter movement by name.
But he added that "responsibility" in any campaign "begins and ends at the top", and he called for "civility" and "unity" over divisions and "hatred".
